There are five Western Bay people on today's Queen's Birthday Honours list - five people doing us proud.
In today's paper you can read about Ngaire Guy, a Tauranga music teacher, who hasn't stopped sharing her passion for the great composers, despite glaucoma taking her eyesight. We also hear about environmentalist
Greg Jenks.
Our Queen's Birthday Honours coverage continues with articles on the three Tauranga people who are to be awarded with Queen's Service Medals.
Our reporters have enjoyed meeting these extremely dedicated people.
We also have some of the national winners and the full list of recipients and the major sports winners.
Hopefully you're able to relax and enjoy being in the Bay today but if, like us, you're working that you still manage to enjoy it.
Who knows, one day you too may be recognised for the hard work.
